[h=2]How fake Twitter profiles are generated[/h]Software to generate thousands of Twitter accounts is widely available. Just search on YouTube. These programs send data to Twitter through proxy IP addresses, generate names and user names without the user going through Twitter at all (some will even scrape the information and pictures from random accounts and replicate profiles with a couple of random misspellings). So, when I talk about the ingeniousness of many developers using the Twitter API, I have to include the developers who devised these programs…. even though they diminish the Twitter experience and are using their genius for dark purposes.

After the account is created, there are other software solutions that will help to manager followers and messages all from this third party interface. Software like this fuels the market for both Twitter followers and retweets on YouTube, eBay, Fiverr and other websites.

[h=2]Why do Celebrities on Twitter have so many fake followers?[/h]One thing that many commenters on my post noted was the prevalence of spam on celebrity accounts. Adam Justice of Social Media Sun made the observation that following some celebrities is a tactic used in attempt to legitimize the bot account. Jason Ding of Barracuda Labs substantiated Adam’s point in research that he did by buying followers and then analyzing the accounts that followed him.
Ding went on to point out that there was a qualitative difference in how sophisticated the follower accounts are created which justifies different pricepoints. For example a thousand accounts with random generated names, no headlines and picture of an egg would cost much less than a thousand accounts with profiles, headlines and a picture. There is software for either.

Howard works in mysterious ways, in his reality, by calling out Ronnie for buying followers, he thinks will eliminate fans from thinking he and Don are not behind it....but we know better.

I asked Jon Lieberman to do a story about all these fake accounts following Ronnie but he's been silent. He was probably told to shut the fuck up about it because Ronnie's agent (probably Fuckwald) is the one who bought him all these fake followers.

In that link in my post above, it says this:

The average price of buying 1000 followers is $18

So... 250*18 = $4,500

So for $5k you can have quarter of million followers and appear to be someone important on the Twatter.

And Jon's a fucking pussy for not following a story on this. I'm gonna call him out and send him link to this thread.
